Eat, be merry, and keep close those in your heart.

I know it's early, but I had to see what progress I'd made so far.

( Read more... )

I passed this semester. I passed this semester. Oh did I mention that I passed the damn semester?! *getting jiggy with it*

Got a D in Biology, but to hell with it. That's passing. Got a C in Pre-Cal and a C in English, but I did get an A in Programming. So I'm happy as hell. Now... to go do what I promised myself. Wish me luck y'all.

Jenn

...and the cat's even worse.

Midnight's thumping his tail in time with Stranger In A Strange Land, while Cloe's jumping over him. *face palm* My critters love 30 Seconds to Mars. Probably more than I do.

Jenn

Happy Birthday poisontaster!
Happy Birthday titti!
Happy Birthday kroki_refur!

I've so got to catch up on my birthday wishes.

Jenn

This year, they're postulating that Borders will disappear in 2010. *snorts* They said the same thing about Crocs disappearing in 2008. Ummm. Not likely. Barnes and Nobles, while having mass market influence is also kind of expensive. Sorry, I'll take Borders any day. Always have, always will. I don't think I even know where a B&N is in Houston.

Doom and gloom seems to be the trade for Economists. Everyone needs something to bitch about I guess. *wearing my Crocs with the fuzzy lining and my flannel pjs.*

( On to a not so great note. )

I did finish up all of my finals, so that's a plus for this week.

I'm thinking about taking up the guitar again. It's been a few years since I played, so I'm a little rusty. There are a few songs the Grandparents taught me that I want to write down and record. Then those'll go into the family vault. *shrugs* My cousin, Johnny, used to be the record-keeper.

Off to clean up the house, then to grab my recorder and guitar.

Jenn

That is the final word count before my fingers fall the hell off. I hit the 50k, my original 75k and almost made it to 100k.

Now I just have my last homework assignments to do, an essay to write for English, and some programs to finish coding. Icy/Hot, you are my friend today!

Jenn

So after how many months, I finally got a Dreamwidth account. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but here's the link. gwionfawyr.

Deathly tired and just ready to fall on my face and sleep, but I'm not down with NaNo, even though I did hit the 50k mark. Still have Finals and two separate tests to study for, an essay to do, and about 20 Cengage assignments to turn in for my English prof. Sleep is going to take a back burner and soon.

Oh well. Here's my first cross post to all three.

Jenn

Finally was able to catch up today. Not by a lot, but yeah. 2047 words added to my count in between programming code, studying biology and pre-cal. Sleep now.

Jenn

Because every now and then I get creative at the wrong times. New fics up at darkstar_tales.

Yesterday's Boy (30StM, Spookathon fic) - part 1
Dance (MCR/HP, Of Dragons and Men 'Verse) - Link

Have at, I've got NaNo to try and catch up with. *grins*

Jenn

I'm feeling energized, if still coughing a mile a minute. I've gotten over 1800 words typed since I woke up this morning. I'm thinking of taking a break to work on a Of Dragons and Men/Duke of Cambridgeshire short. I know I've been a flake, but I started school and did renovations on the house.

So, by tonight, I'll have the ficlet written, but then I've gotta catch up with my NaNo numbers.

Jenn

I wasn't happy with what I was writing and well. Still sick here. So I concede that there is no way on this green earth that I'm going to make 75k this month. I'm going back to the more realistic goal of 50k and just hoping I can catch up.

I restarted my novel from the beginning and yeah, like the way it's going now.

Tomorrow I try to make it through a whole day at school without coughing up a lung. So wish me luck poppets.

Jenn

New word count for today:

3140/50000

And my hands ache.

So I only got a little over a 1000 done yesterday, but got a good chunk done today in between sleeping. Final word count for Day Four?



Going to spend some time with my S.O. and then sleep.

My count for today. Still tired, not quite recovered enough yet to stay awake all night. Will do some more writing sessions tomorrow to catch up to where I want to be.

Jenn

That's what I did. Now I'm going to bed. My chest and lungs are killing me. G'night peeps.

Jenn

Well, really it's more like 14 hours for those of us in the CST, but still! It's almost time to NaNo!

I'm just a little hyper right now. So this is my plan. I need to finish all of my homework assignments. STAT! Slather on some Vick's Vapor Rub, and print out a huge picture of Matt Cortez and Shannon Leto. They're going next to Punky, the punk rock beanie bear as my avatar for this year. I need all the help that I can get, I'm going for 75,000.

Writing schedules are posted around the house to deter any misunderstandings and/or hurt feelings. Playlist needs to be done, but I've got time for that. And, coffee beans need to be ground.

Candied Apples are drying on the table and my Tarot cards are ready for WorldBuilding.

All I'm saying, it's a wonderful Pre-NaNo, Samhain, Halloween.

Awake, but barely. I finally got bullied into actually going to the doctor and she confirmed that it was Pneumonia. Had it a time or three before, so I know the symptoms. Nearly got caught in the rain yesterday on the way to Programming. Today I've got some last minute WorldBuilding, finish up my Character Profiles, and on Thursday my outline.

Finish my English Comp. homework this morning so I can concentrate. I've got two stories that need to be finished and I'm determined to get them done and soon.

Have picked up a book on Farsi for Language Building, probably will grab a Russian/Cyrillic one on Thursday too.

Last night, I shamelessly indulged my crush on Gina Gershon. Watched PS, I Love You and Prey For Rock-n-Roll.

My friend, Belle, suggested a few books by Karen Marie Moning to read. Only thing that makes me a tiny bit leery is that they're in the Romance section at the bookstore. I've a phobia about Romance books. It's not logical, but there you go.

Cloe's a little perturbed with me right now. Her nice nap has been interrupted by me playing Avenged Sevenfold. She went to go crash on the dog, who's camped out downstairs watching the wind chimes out of the window. My pets have issues, but they work.

Thinking about taking a run to Mickey D's this morning for breakfast, then I remember my promise and am going to get the Cascadian Farms granola. Dang blasted bet.

So, I'm off to do my homework, then back to writing/plotting/raising all kinds of levels of havoc.

See you guys later,
Jenn

Two more wallpapers for the Mystery Writers on my f-list.

Jenn

*waves* Hiya Kiddos and not so Kiddos.

I just got home from my local Kick-Off Party for NaNoWriMo, and I had the best time. I even got my mom to stick around. She's a little gun-shy, if cautiously supportive about the whole thing.

I got a chance to meet a lot of people that I've looked up to over the years and some new faces. Well, I guess they could all be considered new faces, because this is the first Kick-Off Party that I've gone to. Excuse the rambling, but yeah, definitely had fun.

So now I'm jamming to 30 Seconds to Mars, got the bunny slippers rocking and hair in a bun. I generally hate having my hair down, but I did it today.

To all my NaNoWrimans in Houston, we've so gotta beat Maryland this year. It's best 2 out of 3. Go Lushguins!

Again, going for 75k this year. Yes, insanity thy name is Jenn, but we all knew that. *grins* I'm off to finish studying Bio, that test is on Monday and then back to plotting to take over the world! One book at a time.

Jenn

I know officially that I passed my Computer Science midterm. I think I passed my English one, I recognized a lot on there. It's the Pre-Calculus that's got me all a-fluttery, and Biology's on Monday.

*dances around a little* Wish me luck. There's a plotting to do.

Jenn

That's how I feel this morning. Just kinda waiting to really wake up and growling at the sun. You'd think I was nocturnal or something. lol. I'm keeping my trillian off until I get these two stories finished. And drinking lots of Blue Ginger tea so that I don't snap at anyone this morning. *blows kisses*

I'll see you lovelies at noon.... hopefully.

Jenn

Still taking requests, but I got bored this morning and started playing around.





Jenn

These are only in 1280x720. If you'd like them smaller or larger, let me know. There are two sets.



( The rest under the tag )

At least 1 online test for my Composition Teacher. *rubs eyes* I've been working on the lessons since Thursday. Had to take a break on Friday to go to class and then spent all day Saturday finishing it up. *yawns* I'm tired, but I still have Comp. Sci. to do and start on the rest of the NaNo Wallpapers I've offered to make.

I'm going to crash for awhile, but I'll probably be back up around 7 or 8.

G'night everyone.

Jenn

For my buddies that aren't in the NaNoWriMo community on IJ, I'm doing wallpapers for NaNo and taking requests.

If you have a specific size, word count, picture or anything that you want. Then drop me a line here. I'll either posts the results or email them directly to you.

Jenn

It took 3 days, really 2 and 1/2, to break the NaNoWriMo site. *face-palm.* This has to be a new record even for us.

Jenn

and I'm still contemplating if I'm going to class today. I'm tired and the power just came back on from the storm we had overnight. But on the good side, the NaNoWriMo site has relaunched! *does a little dance*

Progress for you all to know:

I've got 2 characters done - 1 Main, 1 Supporting

And that's about it. lol

I'm going to go wash my hair and see if that makes me feel a little bit more human. I guess I'm just not in the mood to deal with my English Comp professor today, nor hear the condescending tones of my Pre-Cal professor. They're alright people, but my patience is frayed and I'm libel to snap something extra mean.

*sighs* I've got at least another hour to decide if I'm going or not.

Jenn

I'm excited. I've been bouncing all day, just waiting to see what the new site's going to look like. I'm almost scared to see it, because there is predicted crashing from the swarm of well... us. :o)

I've started on my character profiles and got 1 of the 3 done. Biology test? Bah, what test? No, I'll study this weekend, only three chapters to do. *grins* So it's all good.

*bouncing* NaNo!

Anyone who knows my schedule, knows that I love to sleep in. It's kinda annoying to others, but hey it's my Thursday off. Also it's Winchester Night. Love the Sam. Love the Dean. Love the show.

Tomorrow I have a PreCalculus test. First one of the year. *knees knock together* So today, I'm going to work on something. Oh and hope that my laptop's not going to act craptacular at school tomorrow. I seriously need to finish a few writing projects, especially Duke of Cambridgeshire and a certain lady's birthday fic. *rubs face* I'm a dork.

Oh well, onto folding clothes and trying to remember what the Associative Function of G is. I'll probably post again tonight.

Jenn

But barely.lol

So far I've had 1 quiz, 2 tests, with two more tests coming up this Friday and next Monday. I did get an extra credit Research paper done for credit on my next essay. Score!

I've got some homework to do and a lot of studying, but I'm determined to spend a good part of tomorrow and Thursday writing, no matter what. I've found a Tony Lucca cd that I kinda absolutely adore. And for all the craziness of the campus trek that I make three days a week, I'm losing weight. Go me!

And I need a reminder not to drink coffee after 7PM. It's Gremlin-like behavior and lack of sleep.

I have to study chapter 6 of Biology this week and start on Chapter 7, because while my teacher is nice, he's spastic and October 5 is coming up, stat.

I'll write more tomorrow.

Jenn
